She was right, then - they were talking about things from the other day - and it had to have something to do with Jo. Especially given the added context - she’d said something about it last month.
All Zelda could think about was the implication of some of what they’d exchanged: that Jo Smith made her feel inadequate, and small. If she wasn’t enough maybe Alfred wouldn’t be here, but it was what struck her in that moment.
“Even if it’s nothing,” Zelda tried, “Maybe I should get another drink?” She was too nervous to contain it even with the fear that maybe she had drank the first flute of champagne too quickly - she was not convinced she could talk about Jo Smith without it, when she had the letter in her pocket begging for her to get annoyed by it.
